Please Don't Make Me Choose

Chorus

Please don’t make me choose

I want it all, I want it all

Still got more to prove

But I need you too

Verse 1

There’s a fire in me

I’ve always known that

My passion is my path

I want to be free

But I want those around around me

They can depend on me

I don’t wanna be a rolling stone

Oh I’ve heard it all before

They say you can’t have it all

They say you need to choose the one The kitchen or the job

Or you lose on both sides

Not really a tiger not a real wife

But what if I

Wanna live both lives and do it right

Pre

What if I wanna be a lover

And a breadwinner, a creator

And a mamma bear

Can I be free, to do it all

If I’m only, smart enough

If I only work hard enough

I think that it can be done

And it might be hard

Now will you trust me babe

‘cause I won’t stop until I have it all

Chorus

Please don’t make me choose

I want it all, I want it all

Still got more to prove

But I need you too

Verse 2

I want the big world

Much as the small circle

Don’t have to be perfect

Long as it won’t hurt

Don’t ask

Me, cause I’m not choosing

What could I lose

The home or the road

I burned

Tryna balance my life’s work

Gave me time to reflect, lessons learned

And came back a big girl

Verse 2 pt 2

You know mind goes a mile a minute

Never ending checklist

And onto the next thing

I’m always so restless

I wanna do it all

But there’s no time

Wishing, like a cat, I had 9 lives

Pat my back, sharp my nails

But no laying around

Out on the hunt, then I’m home bound

Going round and round

Pre 2

What do I get, I’m a woman

I’m selfish, obsessed with it

Unnatural and delirious

Why can’t it be fearless, not backing down, aspirational

 

We are told we have to choose

If we wanna be understood

But I refuse

I won’t stop

‘till we can do it too

Chorus

Please don’t make me choose

I want it all, I want it all

Still got more to prove

But I need you too
